Merab Dvalishvili rejects bantamweight GOAT talk

UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili does not believe he has earned the right to be called the greatest bantamweight of all time.

It was a close, competitive fight but in the last few rounds, the Georgian champ really imposed his will on Umar, with his insane cardio being highlighted as the most impressive tool at his disposal.

Following the result, many began to ask the question: is Merab Dvalishvili the greatest to ever do it at 135 pounds?
